Hi Robert
Are these activities to simple for your residents??
https://www.goldencarers.com/activities-for-the-baby-boomer-generation-/4422/
That is absolutely great! I never heard the story, but what is even greater is that I can share with our residents the very first crossword presented to our world. Thanks for posting some interesting content.
I would like to put the word out to Golden Carers that I would like to see more content (like this) that is geared towards independent seniors- I have a lot of seniors here who are still sharp as a tack and they need more challenging stimuli. My challenge has been finding new age appropriate material for those 55 to 75 that is fun.
Thanks for your feedback Robert! We will introduce a new category to help people find this sort of content. Thanks again!
Hi, what a wonderful thing to read to my clients who love crosswords. Have you the answers to the first ever crossword.
Thanks Janice
